Public Execution For Using A Fake $20.00 Bill In Minneapolis By The Police In 2020 Poem by Hebert Logerie

This is unbelievable that George Floyd got publicly executed
For passing a counterfeit $20.00 bill by a racist police officer
It is well documented that many racist cops are duly affiliated
With hate groups who prey on minorities who are poor
Brother George Floyd was tightly handcuffed, yet this coward
Had his weight on George's neck, who was screaming
And crying that he couldn't breathe, that he was dying
After nine long minutes being trampled, our brother expired
Passed out, died on the stretcher, on his way to the hospital
What a pity! What a loss for our brave people, our family
There's no justice for black people in America, a country
That our ancestors bled for, for many centuries. This cop has no soul
This racist has no heart. He is not a normal human being
Our world is upside down. Two fatal viruses are destroying
Us: the new coronavirus and racism. We must eradicate
Both diseases by any means necessary. We must liberate
America now. This violence against our people must stop
Now.We want justice for our people. This is the last stop.
